What's more, judging from the almost burning excitement flashing in Zhang Jin's eyes, this kid has obviously discovered something extraordinary. I'm afraid it's better than the "Hai Dai Tower Play" that Zhang Jin temporarily stored with him, which he regards as a treasure.
"Moon Picture" is even more valuable!
Mr. Liu can deal with everything else calmly, and can even achieve "Taishan collapses in front of him, but his face does not change color". But for him who regards collecting as his greatest pleasure in life, he is extremely unable to resist the charm of these antique calligraphy and paintings.
.
Therefore, when Zhang Jin finished speaking mysteriously, the old man was already as curious as a cat.
So, Mr. Liu patted Zhang Jin on the shoulder and said in a deep voice eagerly:
"Come on, take me to see what kind of treasure has caught your eye, Xiao Jin. And it can make you so excited!"
Zhang Jin didn't show off, nodded, turned around and left, taking Mr. Liu through the door to transfer the property. After passing through a villa and walking through several corridors, the two of them found themselves under a large glass cover in another villa.
Stopped before.
After Zhang Jin stood still in front of the glass cover, he pointed at the objects in the glass cover with a mysterious expression and said to Mr. Liu:
"Grandpa Liu, come and take a look, how does this thing look like?"
After confirming that what was in front of him made Zhang Jin unable to suppress the excitement in his eyes, Mr. Liu followed what Zhang Jin pointed at and looked at the objects in the glass cabinet.
This is a piece of yellow stone, or it can also be called a stone. The whole stone is about three square meters square and about half a meter thick. On the flat and upward stone surface, there is a mottled but still clear red and black outline.
Two color painting.
The painting shows a man with a head full of hair and a ring of fire behind his head, sitting cross-legged. In front of the man, a few strokes outline the appearance of a tiger, leopard and bear, and there are also some strange birds flying in the sky.
Obviously, this is a mural cut out from the wall. The content of the mural is a scene of Buddha giving a lecture.
In the painting, the Buddha has a majestic appearance, with a blazing flame of merit behind his head. The beasts in front of him bow their heads, looking obedient as if they have gained something.
Just a glance. With his profound appreciation foundation and experience, Mr. Liu knew through the painting style and story content that this was a mural that flowed out of China. Perhaps it was robbed by foreign robbers during the great disaster in China at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China.
One of the countless cultural relics stolen!
After looking at the stone slab for a while and having some impressions, Mr. Liu did not immediately start to study the Zhenjian carefully. Instead, he first looked at the nameplate beside the stone slab.
After all, since these collectors at the meeting deserve the name of 'top collectors', they all have extraordinary eyesight. To be honest, when it comes to appraisal and screening, these people attending the meeting are better than the top appraisal experts in most large museums.
Much stronger.
Therefore, although Mr. Liu often only trusts his own eyes when appraising, the explanations of this collection by collectors on this nameplate are still of great reference value to him.
Sure enough, just as Mr. Liu expected, the nameplate stated that this mural came from the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, China. It was a British bandit in the late Qing Dynasty. He was 'extradited' from China to England and was captured by the Tibetan friend's father.
Bought it. And the owner of the collection marked on the nameplate is also the British nobleman who went to the airport to greet him yesterday - Prince Andrew.
After looking at the nameplate, he determined the value of this mural. However, it was obvious that this value was not enough to make Zhang Jin excited. The excitement in his eyes could even dazzle people. Therefore, Mr. Liu was sure that there must be something in this collection.
The strange thing is that the owner of this collection, Prince Andrew of England, has never discovered it.
So, the old man reached out and pulled over the special identification equipment that was placed beside the cabinet to observe details. Through the viewing hole that looked like a microscope eyepiece, he began to scan the slate inch by inch!
Carefully observing such a large mural like Mr. Liu is definitely not something that can be accomplished overnight. Judging from the fact that the objective lens that Mr. Liu is currently operating can’t move much faster than a snail, after Mr. Liu has completely surveyed this area,
Slate, I'm afraid it will take at least two hours.
As a result, Zhang Jin became impatient. Of course he didn't want to stand around waiting for several hours.
But seeing Mr. Liu looking so attentive, he felt embarrassed to interrupt.
Seeing Mr. Liu looking as interested in treasure hunting, Zhang Jin couldn't help but tell the strangeness of this square slate immediately. People were having fun playing this business as a puzzle game, and you revealed the answer in one fell swoop.
That's just like giving spoilers to others before they go to the movies. It's very unethical. So Zhang Jin naturally can't do that.
Therefore, Zhang Jin finally hesitated for a moment, and after glancing at the slate with a "thief eye", he simply turned around and left, leaving Mr. Liu here alone.
In Zhang Jin’s ‘thief’s eye’, these rows of words were floating brightly above the square stone slab:
…
Items: ancient rock paintings in a collection of books;
Item name: Picture of "Buddha Lectures";
Historical period: one thousand and eleven hundred years;
Producer level: Level 8;
Item value: Level 10;
Estimated value: 200,000 taels of silver;
…
This is a mural with something else in its belly, and the treasure inside it is actually a ‘treasure’ worth up to level ten, with an estimated value of up to 200,000 taels!
Don't forget, the value of the 'Twelve Buddha Blessing Orbs' that Zhang Jin missed was only Level 6 under Zhang Jin's 'thief's eye' appraisal, and its estimated value was only a mere thousand taels of silver; even if it was
That painting was painted by Liu Lao
The master hailed it as a priceless treasure. Mi Fu's only extant rice-pointed cloud mountain painting "Haidai Tower Wandering with the Moon", under Zhang Jin's 'thief's eye' appraisal, the value of the item was only level nine, and the estimated value was only eight.
Thousand taels of silver!
What a huge gap is there between the value of two hundred thousand taels of silver, compared to the value of eight thousand taels of silver, and the value of one thousand taels of silver?
Mr. Liu is already willing to pay him a fair price of 80 million Chinese coins for the "Twelve Buddha Blessing Orbs" worth one thousand taels of silver. The "Haidai Tower Wandering with the Moon" worth eight thousand taels of silver, Mr. Liu is so wealthy.
The heroic man has already called it a 'priceless treasure'. So how will Mr. Liu finally appraise this treasure worth 'two hundred thousand taels of silver'?
Zhang Jin is unimaginable!
…
Don't look at the difference between the value of this piece of slate with murals on the 'ten' level and the 'nine level' value of "Haidai Tower Wandering with the Moon". However, this level is just like "Wulin Three Kingdoms".
》In the system, the difference between level nine and level ten of sub-professional skills is about the same. That is the qualitative gap between master and grandmaster. Although the difference seems to be only one level, although the difference seems to be only a thin line, it is a world of difference.
Level 9 can be a masterpiece of an era! In every prosperous cultural era where talents emerge in large numbers and fashionable people abound, there may be some, or even a batch, of Level 9 masterpieces!
The tenth level, however, is a level of perfection that has only appeared a few times throughout the history of civilization. Those who are masters in history can only achieve it with the help of the gods in the dark when inspiration flashes.
, the completed miracle is a monumental spectacle in the history of human civilization!
Even if the most outstanding artists in the West are added together, even if the "Three Masters of the Renaissance" are Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael, as well as Picasso and Van Gogh who have illuminated the entire history of Western culture... all these Western
Of all the works of great artists combined, probably only the ancient "Venus with Broken Arms" by an unknown author is considered a level ten treasure in Zhang Jin's 'thief's eye'!
The rest, whether it is Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa Smile" and "The Last Supper", or Raphael's "Sistine Madonna"; whether it is Michelangelo's "Statue of David"
, or Rodin's "The Thinker"; whether it is Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" or Picasso's "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon";
All these works, which are called splendid masterpieces by Western artists, would only be worth nine if they fall under Zhang Jin’s ‘thief’s eye’!
A master-level craftsman requires a profound cultural heritage and a long-term civilization to nurture and grow. Compared with the five thousand years of Chinese civilization, Western civilization is still too shallow in foundation and its foundation is not deep enough!
However, the other three ancient countries that were once known as the four ancient civilizations along with China have experienced repeated civilization lapses and have even died out long ago. They are no longer comparable to China.
No wonder there are so many "Chinese emperors and Han people" who highly admire their own country's civilization. This is not self-deception and narcissism, it is a fact!
As for works of art up to level 10, it requires master-level craftsmen. Through various coincidences, at the right time, with the right inspiration, and in a rare "trance", a masterpiece of life can be achieved by chance.
A tenth-level treasure requires many harsh conditions to appear. This shows how rare a tenth-level treasure is!
Therefore, it's no wonder that Zhang Jin couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.
…………
Zhang Jin threw Mr. Liu next to the secret stones and left alone, without continuing to enjoy the wandering.
Although Zhang Jin marveled at the rarity of these exhibits and lamented the value of these exhibits, in fact he still lacked interest in appreciating these things. Therefore, after looking around for a while, he really had no interest in continuing.
Walked through it again.
Therefore, Zhang Jin went to the sunroom among several villas and found a comfortable chair to sit down on. He casually called over a waiter who could be seen everywhere in the exhibition hall, ordered a cup of Chinese tea, and drank it leisurely.
After Zhang Jin slowly sipped a cup of tea, he placed the empty cup on the table in front of him.
Then, Zhang Jin reached into his arms and pretended to dig around in his chest pocket for a long time. He took out a beautiful stone half the size of a fist and a three-inch silver knife.
